I never received a renewal notice for…
I never received a renewal notice for my policy, nor any communication about the move to the Ripe group. The terms of my insurance have substantially changed and without any notice of these I felt I had no option but to renew on the spot to ensure my yacht was covered. After being a customer for twenty plus years I feel a bit let down by the lack of comms.

Hello Simon, thank you for taking your time to leave us a review.
I do apologise for the issues that you have had and we understand that this is not ideal during the renewal process, we unfortunately cannot always rely on technology as we wished we could but our customer service advisors are trying their best to rectify any issues the best we can.
I can see that have been speaking with a member of our team within our call centre to discuss your renewal and this has now been rectified with your boat being insured with us.
If you require any further assistance with anything else, please email us at customersupport@craftinsure.com as we would like to look into this further.
Kind Regards,
The CraftInsure Team

When my boat insurance due.
When my boat insurance was due Craftinsure notified me with a quotation. I got 2 other quotes 1 was a third less and the other 50% more. The expensive one came back with a matching quote but Craftinsure gave a reduced rate taking 20% off. Although they did not meet the lowest price I decided to stay with them as they did try to compete without increasing the excess.

For 8 years happily accepted auto renewal for our boat insurance- via email communication.
Sent a letter to say cannot offer monthly payment plan and didn’t auto renew.
Terrible treatment of loyal customers- we didn’t see our post for 3 months because we were on our boat! Which is why we communicate everything via email!

Couldn't have been easier to get cover and the price seems very reasonable as well. Level of cover is good too.

Reviewing my boat insurance I found Craftinsure was easy to deal with and were more competitive than the current broker who had increased their costs by 35%.
